A Short Introduction To DISH Network
So you are looking for quality satellite TV entertainment? There are two main satellite TV providers in the US, DirecTV and Dish Network. DirecTV has larger market share but in this article we will focus on Dish Network because we believe that Dish Network provides better value for money currently.
Dish Network® (Nasdaq:DISH) has more than 13 million satellite TV customers (April 2009 estimate) and is the second largest provider of advanced digital TV services in the US. DISH Network's services include hundreds of audio and video channels, DISH On Demand, Pay-Per-View, Interactive TV, High Definition TV, sports and International programming. They also have free Standard Professional Installation and 24-hour customer service. DISH Network is a Fortune 500 company so it is likely to be around in future.
Dish Network service is offered all over the US including Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska. Outside the continental United States a larger dish will normally be needed to receive a clear signal. The size of the dish may range from 24-inches to a 1.5 meter dish depending on the location.
Dish Network has a large number of packages matching all kinds of viewing needs. Some examples are:
Standard-Definition Packages:
DishFamily: Over 50 channels of low-priced, family-friendly programming.

Dish Network offers free Professional Installation by qualified technicians and can be installed within 24 hours. You have the choice of getting up to 4 rooms connected at no extra charge. Each room will get its own DVR high definition box allowing different channels to be viewed at the same time in different rooms.
Dish Network Pay-Per-View offers movies and events in high definition. In order to view HD programs, you must have an high definition television in addition to an HD capable satellite receiver and a DISH 500 antenna. Pay-Per-View movies can be ordered by following means: Online, Telephone Automated System, Customer Service and Mobile Service.
Ordering online is one of most popular ways to order Pay–Per–View movies and events. It works exactly the same as the Telephone Automated System except you do not have to call in. The movie or event that you order will be broadcast to all satellite receivers in your home.
The Telephone Automated System is designed for customers who are unable to have their satellite receiver consistently connected to a phone line, but do not move around. There is an extra charge per transaction with this option, which is added on to your bill.
You can call Customer Support Center and a representative can order a Pay–Per–View for you. There is an additional for ordering a Pay–Per–View (sports packages are excluded) through a representative.
Mobile Service is for people on the go, such as truck drivers and RV owners. You can order up to nine movies before your smart card becomes full. Once your smart card becomes full you will need to connect your receiver to a phone line in order to clear the purchases. This service incurs an annual charge (not available monthly), and is only available on one receiver per account.
The options described above should enable you to choose a Dish Network package with ad-ons in order to satisfy your viewing needs. |

Dish Network TV GuideThe Dish Network TV guide allows you to install the service by entering the zip code and selecting the satellite. The Dish Network program guide has a calendar-like interface and shows channel number and channel name. It also shows the start and end time of a show, and the time left for the current show to end.
With Dish Network, the viewer can browse through the schedule while seeing a show. The Dish Network TV guide shows the MPAA rating of the movie, which can be G, PG, PG-13 or R. It also shows the names of the actors and actresses in the movie. It also indicates whether the TV show is close captioned or not. Close captioning means the viewer sees subtitles on screen. The viewer also sees the names of the characters on screen, and other information such as whether the character is screaming or whispering. The Dish Network programming guide also indicates whether the sound is in stereo or not. If it is in stereo, the sounds coming from the left and right speakers are different, unlike in mono in which the sounds coming from both the speakers are same.
The viewer can plan ahead with the Dish Network TV guide, because it shows what's on TV tomorrow and even the day after tomorrow. With Dish Network guide, it is possible to group shows together, according to the theme or the type of show. For example, the guide groups all news shows or sports shows together. Other categories are movies, family, education, series, music and religious. The viewer can also search for a TV show or movie, by using keywords such as title or name of actor.
The viewer can make a custom guide, which is a list of all his favorite channels. The viewer can also be notified when a TV show or movie is on by setting the timer. The viewer can also use the event timer as an alarm clock. The auto-tune feature automatically changes to a particular channel at a specific time. The Dish Network program guide also shows the news and weather and allows users to play games.
Dish Network TV guide is better than a cable TV guide, which has some problems. Channel surfing is slower with cable TV because if the difference between the channel numbers is large, then jumping from one channel to another is slow. The cable TV listings are difficult to read because there is no space to fit the description of the TV show or movie. Sometimes, the viewer only sees one word of the title of the TV show or movie. With cable TV, it is also not possible to group news shows or sports shows together neither is it possible to make a favorite list of the channels the viewer likes the most.
The packages that Dish Network offers are Dish Family (50 channels), Bronze (100 channels), Silver (200 channels) and Gold (250 channels). Dish Network also offers movie channels such as HBO, Starz, Showtime and Cinemax and local channels from CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox for most regions. The viewer can watch HDTV shows by using a HDTV receiver, which is given free by Dish Network. A DVR is also available for free, to record shows that the viewer likes.
The future of Dish Network is very bright. Satellite TV, in which the two major players are Dish Network and DIRECTV, give better value for money than cable TV because they provide more channels. It is possible that Dish Network will become more popular than cable TV companies such as Comcast, Time Warner, Cox and Charter. Also, the Dish Network TV Guide may introduce more features in the future, to make it more functional and user-friendly.
